West Virginia Medical Power of Attorney Form |
The West Virginia medical power of attorney is a document that legally refers the patient’s medical health care decisions to a second party known as the `Agent`. The power of attorney can be total or can be limited to specific details that the principal may choose. The agent then acts as a power of attorney in case the principal becomes so ill that they are unable to make decisions themselves. The principal can choose when to allow this power of attorney to be effective and also when it may be invalid. This document requires attestation by two (2) witnesses and notary public in accordance with § 16-30-4(a).
